title: [The value of inductive chemotherapy in radiation treatment of advanced neoplasms of the head and neck].
abstract: The value of inductive chemotherapy preceding the radical irradiation of locally advanced neoplasms of the head and neck has been estimated. The following have been applied: cisplatin, adriamycin, bleomycin. A reaction to treatment in the form of CR and PR has been achieved in 80% of the treated patients. Irradiation was started in two to four weeks after chemotherapy had been stopped. After combined treatment the proportion of 33.3% CR was achieved. The average length of time of CR and PR was 9.8 months.
